Learn to validate user input in the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Data Form control. In this video, you will learn how to validate user input in the .NET MAUI data form editors. I will show you how to display valid and error messages. I will also show you how to customize the appearance of errors and valid labels and the different validation modes.

This control allows you to display and edit data using various pre-made and customized editors for different forms, including login, reservation, employee details, contact forms, and others. You can also effortlessly change the look of editors, groups, and validation labels.

The DataForm control in .NET MAUI offers built-in editors for basic data types like strings, enums, DateTime, and TimeSpan. It also provides the ability to add custom editors based on the requirement. Additionally, it supports various validation modes like LostFocus, PropertyChanged, and manual to check data or user input.
